A quasi-static process is also called a reversible process
Intensive and Extensive Properties
Intensive property: Whose value is independent of the size or extent i.e. mass of the system.
e.g., pressure p and temperature T.
Extensive property: Whose value depends on the size or extent i.e. mass of the system (upper
case letters as the symbols). e.g., Volume, Mass (V, M). If mass is increased, the value of
extensive property also increases. e.g., volume V, internal energy U, enthalpy H, entropy S, etc.
Specific property: It is a special case of an intensive property. It is the value of an extensive
property per unit mass of system. (Lower case letters as symbols) e.g: specific volume, density
(v, ρ).
Concept of Continuum
The concept of continuum is a kind of idealization of the continuous description of matter where
the properties of the matter are considered as continuous functions of space variables. Although
any matter is composed of several molecules, the concept of continuum assumes a continuous
distribution of mass within the matter or system with no empty space, instead of the actual
conglomeration of separate molecules.
Describing a fluid flow quantitatively makes it necessary to assume that flow variables
(pressure, velocity etc.) and fluid properties vary continuously from one point to another.
Mathematical descriptions of flow on this basis have proved to be reliable and treatment of fluid
medium as a continuum has firmly become established.
For example density at a point is normally defined as
⎛ m⎞
ρ = lim ⎜
+∀→0 +∀ ⎟
⎝
⎠
Here +∀ is the volume of the fluid element and m is the mass
If +∀ is very large ρ is affected by the in-homogeneities in the fluid medium. Considering
another extreme if +∀ is very small, random movement of atoms (or molecules) would change
their number at different times. In the continuum approximation point density is defined at the
smallest magnitude of +∀ , before statistical fluctuations become significant. This is called
continuum limit and is denoted by +∀C .

ρ = lim ⎜

Introduction
Chapter 1
One of the factors considered important in determining the validity of continuum model is
molecular density. It is the distance between the molecules which is characterized by mean free
path (λ). It is calculated by finding statistical average distance the molecules travel between
two successive collisions. If the mean free path is very small as compared with some
characteristic length in the flow domain (i.e., the molecular density is very high) then the gas
can be treated as a continuous medium. If the mean free path is large in comparison to some
characteristic length, the gas cannot be considered continuous and it should be analyzed by the
molecular theory.
A dimensionless parameter known as Knudsen number, Kn = λ / L, where λ is the mean free
path and L is the characteristic length. It describes the degree of departure from continuum.
Usually when Kn> 0.01, the concept of continuum does not hold good.
In this, Kn is always less than 0.01 and it is usual to say that the fluid is a continuum.
Other factor which checks the validity of continuum is the elapsed time between collisions. The
time should be small enough so that the random statistical description of molecular activity
holds good.
In continuum approach, fluid properties such as density, viscosity, thermal conductivity,
temperature, etc. can be expressed as continuous functions of space and time.

Q3.9
Solution:
A closed cylinder of 0.25 m diameter is fitted with a light frictionless
piston. The piston is retained in position by a catch in the cylinder wall
and the volume on one side of the piston contains air at a pressure of 750
kN/m2. The volume on the other side of the piston is evacuated. A helical
spring is mounted coaxially with the cylinder in this evacuated space to
give a force of 120 N on the piston in this position. The catch is released
and the piston travels along the cylinder until it comes to rest after a
stroke of 1.2 m. The piston is then held in its position of maximum travel
by a ratchet mechanism. The spring force increases linearly with the
piston displacement to a final value of 5 kN. Calculate the work done by
the compressed air on the piston.
(Ans. 3.07 kJ)

Therefore, E remains constant for such a system.
The Zeroth Law deals with thermal equilibrium and provides a means for measuring
temperatures.
The First Law deals with the conservation of energy and introduces the concept of
internal energy.
The Second Law of thermodynamics provides with the guidelines on the conversion heat
energy of matter into work. It also introduces the concept of entropy.
The Third Law of thermodynamics defines the absolute zero of entropy. The entropy of a
pure crystalline substance at absolute zero temperature is zero.
Summation of 3 Laws
• Firstly, there isn’t a meaningful temperature of the source from which we can get the full
conversion of heat to work. Only at infinite temperature one can dream of getting the full 1
kW work output.
• Secondly, more interestingly, there isn’t enough work available to produce 0K. In other
words, 0 K is unattainable. This is precisely the Third law.
Page 29 of 265
First Law of Thermodynamics
Chapter 4
• Because, we don’t know what 0 K looks like, we haven’t got a starting point for the
temperature scale!! That is why all temperature scales are at best empirical.
You can’t get something for nothing:
To get work output you must give some thermal energy.
You can’t get something for very little:
To get some work output there is a minimum amount of thermal energy that
needs to be given.
You can’t get every thing:
However much work you are willing to give 0 K can’t be reached.
Violation of all 3 laws:
Try to get everything for nothing.

interactions: 15 kJ to the fluid and 44 kJ from the fluid, and three heat
interactions, two of which are known: 75 kJ to the fluid and 40 kJ from
the fluid. Evaluate the magnitude and direction of the third heat
transfer.

Q4.7
1.5 kg of liquid having a constant specific heat of 2.5 kJ/kg K is stirred in
a well-insulated chamber causing the temperature to rise by 15°C. Find
Δ E and W for the process.
(Ans. Δ E = 56.25 kJ, W = – 56.25 kJ)
Heat added to the system = 1.5 × 2.5 × 15kJ
= 56.25 kJ
∴
ΔE rise = 56.25kJ
As it is insulated then dQ = 0
∴
ΔQ = ΔE + W
or
0 = 56.25 + W
or
W = – 56.25 kJ
Solution:
The same liquid as in Problem 4.6 is stirred in a conducting chamber.
During the process 1.7 kJ of heat are transferred from the liquid to the
surroundings, while the temperature of the liquid is rising to 15°C. Find
Δ E and W for the process.
(Ans. Δ E = 54.55 kJ, W = 56.25 kJ)
As temperature rise is same so internal energy is same
ΔE = 56.25 kJ
As heat is transferred form the system so we have to give more work = 1.7 kJ to
the system
So
W = – 56.25 – 1.7 kJ
= –57.95 kJ

Some Important Notes
Regarding Heat Transfer and Work Transfer
•
Heat transfer and work transfer are the energy interactions.
•
Both heat transfer and work transfer are boundary phenomena.
•
It is wrong to say 'total heat' or 'heat content' of a closed system, because heat or work is
not a property of the system.
•
Both heat and work are path functions and inexact differentials.
•
Work is said to be a high grade energy and heat is low grade energy.
•
HEAT and WORK are NOT properties because they depend on the path and end states.
•
HEAT and WORK are not properties because their net change in a cycle is not zero.
•
Clausius' Theorem: The cyclic integral of d Q/T for a reversible cycle is equal to zero.

Questions with Solution P. K. Nag
Q6.1
Solution:
An inventor claims to have developed an engine that takes in 105 MJ at a
temperature of 400 K, rejects 42 MJ at a temperature of 200 K, and
delivers 15 kWh of mechanical work. Would you advise investing money
to put this engine in the market?
(Ans. No)
Maximum thermal efficiency of his engine possible
200
ηm a x = 1 −
= 50%
400
∴
That engine and deliver output = η × input
= 0.5 × 105 MJ
= 52.5 MJ = 14.58 kWh
As he claims that his engine can deliver more work than ideally possible so I
would not advise to investing money.
Q6.2
Solution:
If a refrigerator is used for heating purposes in winter so that the
atmosphere becomes the cold body and the room to be heated becomes
the hot body, how much heat would be available for heating for each kW
input to the driving motor? The COP of the refrigerator is 5, and the
electromechanical efficiency of the motor is 90%. How does this compare
with resistance heating?
(Ans. 5.4 kW)
COP =

(COP) ref. = (COP) H.P – 1

So input (W) =

Q6.3
Using an engine of 30% thermal efficiency to drive a refrigerator having
a COP of 5, what is the heat input into the engine for each MJ removed
from the cold body by the refrigerator?
(Ans. 666.67 kJ)
Page 56 of 265
Second Law of Thermodynamics
Chapter 6
Solution:
If this system is used as a heat pump, how many MJ of heat would be
available for heating for each MJ of heat input to the engine?
(Ans. 1.8 MJ)
COP of the Ref. is 5
So for each MJ removed from the cold body we need work
1MJ
= 200 kJ
5
For 200 kJ work output of heat engine hair η = 30%
200 kJ
= 666.67 kJ
We have to supply heat =
0.3
Now
COP of H.P. = COP of Ref. + 1
=5+1=6
Heat input to the H.E. = 1 MJ
∴
Work output (W) = 1 × 0.3 MJ = 300 kJ
That will be the input to H.P.
Q
∴ ( COP ) H.P = 1
W
∴
Q1 = (COP) H.P. × W = 6 × 300 kJ = 1.8 MJ

Q6.4
An electric storage battery which can exchange heat only with a
constant temperature atmosphere goes through a complete cycle of two
processes. In process 1–2, 2.8 kWh of electrical work flow into the battery
while 732 kJ of heat flow out to the atmosphere. During process 2–1, 2.4
kWh of work flow out of the battery.
(a) Find the heat transfer in process 2–1.
(b) If the process 1–2 has occurred as above, does the first law or the
second law limit the maximum possible work of process 2–1? What is
the maximum possible work?
(c) If the maximum possible work were obtained in process 2–1, what
will be the heat transfer in the process?
(Ans. (a) – 708 kJ (b) Second law, W2–1 = 9348 kJ (c) Q2–1 = 0)
Solution:
From the first Law of thermodynamics
(a) For process 1–2
Q1–2 = E2 – E1 + W1–2
–732 = (E2 – E1) – 10080
[2.8 kWh = 2.8 × 3600 kJ ]
–W
–Q
∴ E2 – E1 = 9348 kJ
For process 2–1
Q 21 = E1 – E 2 + W21
+W
= –9348 + 8640
= –708 kJ i.e. Heat flow out to the atmosphere.
(b) Yes Second Law limits the maximum possible work. As Electric energy stored
in a battery is High grade energy so it can be completely converted to the
work. Then,
W = 9348 kJ

A heat pump working on the Carnot cycle takes in heat from a reservoir
at 5°C and delivers heat to a reservoir at 60°C. The heat pump is driven
by a reversible heat engine which takes in heat from a reservoir at 840°C

It takes 10 kW to keep the interior of a certain house at 20°C when the
outside temperature is 0°C. This heat flow is usually obtained directly by
burning gas or oil. Calculate the power required if the 10 kW heat flow
were supplied by operating a reversible engine with the house as the
upper reservoir and the outside surroundings as the lower reservoir, so
that the power were used only to perform work needed to operate the
engine.

Q7.14
A body of finite mass is originally at temperature T1, which is higher
than that of a reservoir at temperature T2. Suppose an engine operates in
a cycle between the body and the reservoir until it lowers the
temperature of the body from T1 to T2, thus extracting heat Q from the
body. If the engine does work W, then it will reject heat Q–W to the
reservoir at T2. Applying the entropy principle, prove that the maximum
work obtainable from the engine is
W (max) = Q – T2 (S1 – S2)
Where S1 – S2 is the entropy decrease of the body.
Solution:
If the body is maintained at constant volume having constant volume
heat capacity Cv = 8.4 kJ/K which is independent of temperature, and if
T1 = 373 K and T2 = 303 K, determine the maximum work obtainable.

A body of finite mass is originally at a temperature T1, which is higher
than that of a heat reservoir at a temperature T2. An engine operates in
infinitesimal cycles between the body and the reservoir until it lowers
the temperature of the body from T1 to T2. In this process there is a heat
flow Q out of the body. Prove that the maximum work obtainable from
the engine is Q + T2 (S1 – S2), where S1 – S2 is the decrease in entropy of
the body.

A lead storage battery used in an automobile is able to deliver 5.2 MJ of
electrical energy. This energy is available for starting the car.
Let compressed air be considered for doing an equivalent amount of
work in starting the car. The compressed air is to be stored at 7 MPa,
25°C. What is the volume of the tank that would be required to let the
compressed air have an availability of 5.2 MJ? For air, pv = 0.287 T,
where T is in K, p in kPa, and v in m3/kg.

The exhaust from a gas turbine at 1.12 bar, 800 K flows steadily into a
heat exchanger which cools the gas to 700 K without significant pressure
drop. The heat transfer from the gas heats an air flow at constant
pressure, which enters the heat exchanger at 470 K. The mass flow rate
of air is twice that of the gas and the surroundings are at 1.03 bar, 20°C.
Determine:
(a) The decrease in availability of the exhaust gases.
(b) The total entropy production per kg of gas.
(c) What arrangement would be necessary to make the heat transfer
reversible and how much would this increase the power output of

It is desired to measure the quality of wet steam at 0.5 MPa. The quality
of steam is expected to be not more than 0.9.
(a) Explain why a throttling calorimeter to atmospheric pressure will
not serve the purpose.

(b)
Solution:
Will the use of a separating calorimeter, ahead of the throttling
calorimeter, serve the purpose, if at best 5 C degree of superheat is
desirable at the end of throttling? What is the minimum dryness
fraction required at the exit of the separating calorimeter to satisfy
this condition?
(Ans. 0.97)

After throttling if pressure is atm. Then minimum temperature required
t = tsat + 5ºC = 100 + 5 = 105º C
Then Enthalpy required

If at 0.5 MPa = 5 bar dryness fraction is < 0.9
∴
hmax = hf + 0.9 hfg = 640.1 + 0.9 × 2107.4 = 2536.76 kJ/kg
So it is not possible to give 5º super heat or at least saturation i.e. (2676 kJ/kg) so
it is not correct.

Solution:
The following observations were recorded in an experiment with a
combined separating and throttling calorimeter:
Pressure in the steam main–15 bar
Mass of water drained from the separator–0.55 kg
Mass of steam condensed after passing through the throttle valve –4.20
kg
Pressure and temperature after throttling–1 bar, 120°C
Evaluate the dryness fraction of the steam in the main, and state with
reasons, whether the throttling calorimeter alone could have been used
for this test.
(Ans. 0.85)
p1 = 15 bar = p2

But at 1 bar minimum 5º super heat i.e. 105ºC enthalpy is 2686 kJ/kg
So it is not possible to calculate only by throttling calorimeter.

Steam of 65 bar, 400°C leaves the boiler to enter a steam turbine fitted
with a throttle governor. At a reduced load, as the governor takes action,
the pressure of steam is reduced to 59 bar by throttling before it is
admitted to the turbine. Evaluate the availabilities of steam before and
after the throttling process and the irreversibility due to it.

Joule-Kelvin Effect or Joule-Thomson coefficient
The value of the specific heat cp can be determined from p–v–T data and the Joule–Thomson
coefficient. The Joule–Thomson coefficient μJ is defined as
⎛ ∂T ⎞
μJ = ⎜
⎟
⎝ ∂p ⎠h
Like other partial differential coefficients introduced in this section, the Joule–Thomson
coefficient is defined in terms of thermodynamic properties only and thus is itself a property.
The units of μJ are those of temperature divided by pressure.
A relationship between the specific heat cp and the Joule–Thomson coefficient μJ can be
established to write

⎜ ∂p ⎟ ⎜ ∂h ⎟ ⎜ ∂T ⎟ = − 1
⎠p
⎝
⎠ h ⎝ ⎠T ⎝
The first factor in this expression is the Joule–Thomson coefficient and the third is cp. Thus
cp =
With ( ∂h / ∂p )T = 1 / ( ∂p / ∂h )T

μJ ( ∂p / ∂h )T
this can be written as
cp = −

μJ ⎜⎝ ∂p ⎟⎠T
The partial derivative ( ∂h / ∂p )T , called the constant-temperature coefficient, can be
eliminated. The following expression results:
cp =

1 ⎡ ⎛ ∂v ⎞

−
⎢
⎥
μJ ⎣ ⎜⎝ ∂T ⎟⎠ p ⎦
allows the value of cp at a state to be determined using p–v–T data and the value of the Joule–
Thomson coefficient at that state. Let us consider next how the Joule–Thomson coefficient can
be found experimentally.
The numerical value of the slope of an isenthalpic on a T-p diagram at any point is called the
Joule-Kelvin coefficient and is denoted by μJ . Thus the locus of all points at which μJ is zero is
the inversion curve. The region inside the inversion curve where μJ is positive is called the
cooling region and the region outside where μJ is negative is called the heating region. So,

U does not change either when p changes at T = C. So the internal energy of an ideal gas is a
function of temperature only.
Another important point to note is that for an ideal gas

⎝ ∂T ⎠v
Page 189 of 265
Thermodynamic Relations
Chapter 11
Therefore
dU = Cv dT
holds good for an ideal gas in any process (even when the volume changes). But for any other
substance
dU = Cv dT
is true only when the volume is constant and dV = 0
Similarly
dH = TdS + Vdp

TdS = Cp dT − T ⎜

As shown for internal energy, it can be similarly proved from Eq. shown in above that the

Since for an ideal gas, pV = nRT
and
⎛ ∂V ⎞
V −T ⎜
⎟ =0
⎝ ∂T ⎠ p
the relation dH = Cp dT is true for any process (even when the pressure changes.)
However, for any other substance the relation dH = Cp dT holds good only when the pressure
remains constant or dp = 0.

To determine the state of the nitrogen gas in a cylinder two properties are adequate.

Therefore, F = 1. If any one property is specified it is sufficient.

P = 3, C = 1 therefore F = 0. The triple point is uniquely defined.

About Turbine Losses: If there is heat loss to the surroundings, h2 will decrease,
accompanied by a decrease in entropy. If the heat loss is large, the end state of steam
from the turbine may be 2′.(figure in below).
It may so happen that the entropy increase due to frictional effects just balances the
entropy decrease due to heat loss, with the result that the initial and final entropies of
steam in the expansion process are equal, but the expansion is neither adiabatic nor
reversible.

A simple steam power cycle uses solar energy for the heat input. Water
in the cycle enters the pump as a saturated liquid at 40°C, and is pumped
to 2 bar. It then evaporates in the boiler at this pressure, and enters the
turbine as saturated vapour. At the turbine exhaust the conditions are
40°C and 10% moisture. The flow rate is 150 kg/h. Determine (a) the
turbine isentropic efficiency, (b) the net work output (c) the cycle
efficiency, and (d) the area of solar collector needed if the collectors pick

In a nuclear power-plant heat is transferred in the reactor to liquid
sodium. The liquid sodium is then pumped to a heat exchanger where
heat is transferred to steam. The steam leaves this heat exchanger as
saturated vapour at 55 bar, and is then superheated in an external gasfired super heater to 650°C. The steam then enters the turbine, which
has one extraction point at 4 bar, where steam flows to an open feed
water heater. The turbine efficiency is 75% and the condenser
temperature is 40°C. Determine the heat transfer in the reactor and in
the super heater to produce a power output of 80 MW.

expands in a l.p. turbine to 40°C. If the maximum moisture content at the
turbine exhaust is limited to 15%, find (a) the reheat pressure, (b) the
pressure of steam at the inlet to the h.p. turbine, (c) the net specific
work output, (d) the cycle efficiency, and (e) the steam rate. Assume all
ideal processes.
What would have been the quality, the work output, and the cycle
efficiency without the reheating of steam? Assume that the other
conditions remain the same.

Q.12.10
In an electric generating station, using a binary vapour cycle with
mercury in the upper cycle and steam in the lower, the ratio of mercury
flow to steam flow is 10 : 1 on a mass basis. At an evaporation rate of
1,000,000 kg/h for the mercury, its specific enthalpy rises by 356 kJ/kg in
passing through the boiler. Superheating the steam in the boiler furnace
adds 586 kJ to the steam specific enthalpy. The mercury gives up 251.2
kJ/kg during condensation, and the steam gives up 2003 kJ/kg in its
condenser. The overall boiler efficiency is 85%. The combined turbine
metrical and generator efficiencies are each 95% for the mercury and
steam units. The steam auxiliaries require 5% of the energy generated by
the units. Find the overall efficiency of the plant.

Solution :
Geothermal energy from a natural geyser can be obtained as a
continuous supply of steam 0.87 dry at 2 bar and at a flow rate of 2700
kg/h. This is utilized in a mixed-pressure cycle to augment the
superheated exhaust from a high pressure turbine of 83% internal
efficiency, which is supplied with 5500 kg/h of steam at 40 bar and 500 °c .
The mixing process is adiabatic and the mixture is expanded to a
condenser pressure of 0.10 bar in a low pressure turbine of 78% internal
efficiency. Determine the power output and the thermal efficiency of the
plant.

In a study for a space projects it is thought that the condensation of a
working fluid might be possible at - 40 °C . A binary cycle is proposed,
using Refrigerant 12 as the low temperature fluid, and water as the high
temperature fluid. Steam is generated at 80 bar, 500°C and expands in a
turbine of 81% isentropic efficiency to 0.06 bar, at which pressure it is
condensed by the generation of dry saturated refrigerant vapour at 30°C
from saturated liquid at -40°C. The isentropic efficiency of the R-12
turbine is 83%. Determine the mass ratio of R-12 to water and the
efficiency of the cycle. Neglect all losses.

Q.12.24
Solution :
Steam is generated at 70 bar, 500°C and expands in a turbine to 30 bar
with an isentropic efficiency of 77%. At this condition it is mixed with
twice its mass of steam at 30 bar, 400°C. The mixture then expands with
an isentropic efficiency of80% to 0.06 bar. At a point in the expansion
where me pressure is 5 bar, steam is bled for feedwater heating in a
direct contact heater, which raises the feed water to the saturation
temperature of the bled steam. Calculate the mass of steam bled per kg
of high pressure steam and the cycle efficiency. Assume that the L.P.
expansion condition line is straight.

Solution:
In a cogeneration plant, steam enters the h.p. stage of a two-stage
turbine at 1 MPa, 200°C and leaves it at 0.3 MPa. At this point some of
the steam is bled off and passed through a heat exchanger which it
leaves as saturated liquid at 0.3 MPa. The remaining steam expands in
the I.p. Stage of the turbine to 40 kPa. The turbine is required to
produce a total power of 1 MW and the heat exchanger to provide a
heating rate of 500 kW. Calculate the required mass flow rate of steam
into the h.p. stage of the turbine. Assume (a) steady condition
throughout the plant, (b) velocity and gravity terms to be negligible, (c)
both turbine stages are adiabatic with isentropic efficiencies of 0.80.

Some Important Notes
Heat Engine, Heat Pump
Heat engines, Refrigerators, Heat pumps:
•
A heat engine may be defined as a device that operates in a thermodynamic cycle and does
a certain amount of net positive work through the transfer of heat from a high
temperature body to a low temperature body. A steam power plant is an example of
a heat engine.
•
A refrigerator may be defined as a device that operates in a thermodynamic cycle and
transfers a certain amount of heat from a body at a lower temperature to a body at a
higher temperature by consuming certain amount of external work. Domestic
refrigerators and room air conditioners are the examples. In a refrigerator, the required
output is the heat extracted from the low temperature body.
•
A heat pump is similar to a refrigerator, however, here the required output is the heat
rejected to the high temperature body.

Q14.2
A refrigerator using R–134a operates on an ideal vapour compression
cycle between 0.12 and 0.7 MPa. The mass flow of refrigerant is 0.05 kg/s.
Determine
(a) The rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space
(b) The power input to the compressor
(c) The heat rejection to the environment
(d) The COP
(Ans. (a) 7.35 kW, (b) 1.85 kW, (c) 9.20 kW, (d) 3.97)
Try please.
A Refrigerant-12 vapour compression cycle has a refrigeration load of 3
tonnes. The evaporator and condenser temperatures are – 20°C and 40°C
respectively. Find
(a) The refrigerant flow rate in kg/s
(b) The volume flow rate handled by the compressor in m3/s
(c) The work input to the compressor in kW
(d) The heat rejected in the condenser in kW
(e) The isentropic discharge temperature.
If there is 5o C of superheating of vapour before it enters the
compressor, and 5o C sub cooling of liquid before it flows through the
expansion valve, determine the above quantities.
Solution: As 50°C temperature difference in evaporate so evaporate temperature = – 20°C and
Condenser temperature is 30°C.

Q14.25
A heat pump installation is proposed for a home heating unit with an
output rated at 30 kW. The evaporator temperature is 10°C and the
condenser pressure is 0.5 bar. Using an ideal vapour compression cycle,
estimate the power required to drive the compressor if steam/water
mixture is used as the working fluid, the COP and the mass flow rate of
the fluid. Assume saturated vapour at compressor inlet and saturated
liquid at condenser outlet.

Q14.26
A 100 tonne low temperature R-12 system is to operate on a 2-stage
vapour compression refrigeration cycle with a flash chamber, with the
refrigerant evaporating at – 40°C, an intermediate pressure of 2.1912 bar,
and condensation at 30°C. Saturated vapour enters both the compressors
and saturated liquid enters each expansion valve. Consider both stages
of compression to be isentropic. Determine:
(a) The flow rate of refrigerant handled by each compressor
(b) The total power required to drive the compressor
(c) The piston displacement of each compressor, if the clearance is 2.5%
for each machine
(d) The COP of the system
(e) What would have been the refrigerant flow rate, the total work of
compression, the piston displacement in each compressor and the
compressor and the COP, if the compression had occurred in a
single stage? .
